About The CV Store

Written by the company

Founded by Lee Tonge in 2001, The CV Store has grown year-on-year, building relationships with individuals, corporate clients and recruitment companies globally. Our main objective was then, and still is today, to provide industry leading CVs and cover letters, coupled with an extensive library of articles to help you create and / or improve your own CV.

Whether you’re already at the top, or aiming to get there, a powerful CV in a competitive marketplace is essential. Knowing what to include and how to capture those all-important assets that will get you onto the shortlist are common problems. Lee and his in-house team of Professional CV Writers will help maximise your chances of reaching the shortlist.

We will not claim to increase your interview chances by using unsubstantiated figures that cannot be backed-up. Instead, we provide each client with free and ongoing support for one year. Throughout this year, you’re welcome to contact us for updates to your CV and even tweaks to align your documents with specific job applications.

No pricing gimmicks, hidden fees or 'hard-sell'. We will not charge extra for Consultations, or try to up-sell pointless products. Our CV writing fees are fully transparent, and you’ll never pay a penny more.

No scare tactics. A lot of CV writing companies offer automated free reviews with stock content aimed at shocking you into parting with your cash. Instead, all our reviews are performed manually. If we don’t think you need to spend money, we’ll tell you.

Friendly, genuine, expertise. Highly recommend.

Had a fantastic experience with Lee. The process was incredibly intuitive. As a recent graduate, I feel confident stepping into the workplace having had this professional review and rewrite.

I was totally overwhelmed by what to include or not include given my extra-curricular achievements, and this dithering and daunting feeling put me off looking at my CV for ages. CV writing for yourself is always an awkward process. Deciding to outsource this was the best decision I could have made!

I contacted the chat on the website as I was a bit unsure on what package to get, and was advised on what would suit me best. I got a fantastic CV, and my industry was factored into the new version. Advice was given on how to improve my Linked-In profile.

The turnaround was very quick. I was a bit concerned beforehand as I'd never had a cv-rewrite but the generous 12-month edit policy made me feel comfortable. The service I got was stellar from start to finish.

Unlike some large organisations that use templates and churn out impersonal emails, The CV Store and Lee make an effort to be as bespoke as possible. I am truly grateful for the help received.

Look no further

Great professional communication, incredibly helpful, insightful comments, fast turnaround.
I've been provided with a CV, cover letters and follow up advice that even impressed me!
I can't speak to results yet - but I've just applied for my first job with a feeling of increased confidence...fingers crossed. Thank you

A trully professional for re-writting your CV

Working with Lee was easy and with amazing results! In a truly professional manner, he delivered a totally new CV, capturing all the points I was keen on! The quality of it is excellent and there is no need for further back and forth. Definitely Lee is the person I would return to for any other updates to my profile. Thank you, Lee!

Quick turnaround on a cv revamp

I used The CV Store to revamp my existing cv.
Lee did a great job. He brought it up to date, made notable improvements to both the layout and the wording and turned it around within a day.
I was very happy with the service.

Look no further than CV Store for a CV Upgrade

From start to finish, Lee's service was outstanding. Initially, he conducted a review of the existing CV and identified areas for improvement at no cost.

He was always quick to respond whenever I reached out, and the services provided were clearly defined.

Moreover, his aftercare service included not just the necessary changes but also ongoing support for any future modifications.

Lee is a true CV Master

Lee was extremely kind, professional and considerate with his response and ensured my CV was done with high quality and in timely manner. I was impressed by the service and job well done with my CV and cover letter. Everything was done to fit the role I was applying for, and I am satisfied with the service.
Cannot thank him enough and I definitely highly recommend him.

I have been using the same CV Consultant, Lee from the CV Store for several years now and on each occasion the work produced is beyond impressive.

I have always found great success in my applications for new positions/roles when my CV has been written and or updated by the CV Store.

Five out Five Stars.

I've used the CV Store a number of times since leaving the military, and Lee never disappoints. He is very helpful and always produces excellent CVs, whether it be a complete rewrite or a tweak to an existing one.

Excellent Service

I have been using the CV Store for some years now and I have never been disappointed, they are totally professional and the quality of work is second to none. Whenever I get In touch with them it is always a pleasure, they are always willing to help me tweak my CV, just to give you an idea of how brilliant they are, recently I noticed I did not have a covering letter, after getting In touch with the CV Store, they confirmed this and offered to write this for me free of charge. I highly recommend the CV Store to anyone looking to have there CV written professionally.

Excellent communication and hugely helpful. Speedy turn around and proactive around asking questions to expand CV as needed. I've gone from having no responses to having two interviews scheduled this week. Balancing life with work with children with job applications is HARD. Having Lee in my corner has been extremely helpful in keeping my motivation going.

An acquired taste

I bought a CV package from Lee in 2022. He was really nice & helpful, he responded to questions I had even after the CV writing.

However, 2 years on, I haven't successfully secured an interview with the CV he wrote, and I wasn't too impressed with it either. I've been using the one I had originally so it wasn't the best use of money and a purchase I regret so be careful.

Now I'm job-hunting again - I actually haven't changed jobs since buying a CV here because i decided to stick with my current company - but now I'm ready to go. I'm going to have to completely write a CV from scratch, or hire another company to write it.

Edit - I understand they don't guarantee interviews but when I tell them exactly what jobs I'm applying for and the CV they write has no success... but the one I wrote does... I didn't take a new job but I still secured interviews with my original CV (not the job I really want yet though, they wouldn't hire me, will need CV support elsewhere to get it). I like that their response is "to identify potential areas for improvement" when the ENTIRE CV they wrote needs to be re-written, or binned as it was. [And they did offer a re-write but it was a lot of hassle then ] I would say if you're dissatisfied, request a refund or a rewrite ASAP. Don't be dissatisfied like I was but just hope it works down the line... it won't.

Reply from The CV Store

Hi Helena, and thanks for your review. With our services, we like to be fully transparent in that we cannot guarantee interview success (as there are so many contributing factors when applying for roles). However, although you're outside of the standard one-year support period, we'd be happy to review your most recent CV against the positions you're interested in to identify any potential areas for improvement. This review hasn't been verified via Trustpilot so we're unable to reply to you via email privately.

UPDATE: Hi Helena. Just to clarify: if you could email over the details of any roles you're currently targetting, we will adjust the CV as needed for you (whether this needs minor tweaks or a full restructure). We never like to see customers left unhappy. Could I please ask you to email help@thecvstore.net with the details, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Amazing Work

From the moment I gave these a call in December 2023, to the time they delivered the final product in January, I have received nothing but a classy, professional, dedicated and quality service. Lee is one of the most professional people, I can say I have ever met in my life. He is not only flexible but got an eye for detail. He greatly helped me with my old CV, taking it from 5 pages to two professional pages and making it look really employable. His syntax and the way he structured my CV made it very appealing and engaging to the reader. They created my IT CV from scratch and used scattered crumbs to create my Healthcare CV; needless to say both results were fantastic. I now have 4 Job offers within healthcare and one job offer within IT with two interviews lined up. It is worth noting here that within both fields, I was approached 11 by employers who found my CV on LinkedIn and Indeed. I believe if my CVs weren't appealing no one would approach me. I mention it here as it's never happened to me before. I think it must be the great job done by the guys at the CV Store.

Being dyslexic means I struggle with communication, Lee took all of these into consideration and his communication all along has been top notch. Their after sale Service is nothing short of brilliant. They respond to you within the hour and they still make changes as requested to your CV with the same dedication as if you were a new customer. Personally I think I am as fussy as they come but they handled my worries with compassion, understanding, flexibility and professionalism. I now see why they have 5 start reviews across the board; these don't lie. I am so grateful to you Lee and his team as the CV store. A massive thank you for your continuous help and support.

Quick turnaround, fair price

Lee was fast, efficient and delivered within the timescale. The overall result was a good solid CV that is quite generic ather than tailored to my industry. I have a solid base but will need to undertake further work to secure interviews. I work in the creative sector and whilst I was satisfied with CV Stores work I was hoping for a more sector nuanced CV.

Very impressive CV writing company

Very impressive CV writing company! I have been in touch with Lee to write and update my CV along with well written cover letters. He has been exceptional and has always kept his promise as to when my documents will be ready. Communication has been very clear and prompt. I have recommended The CV store to friends and they have had the same excellent experience.

Absolutely brilliant experience with Lee. Communication was great. He has a keen eye for detail, a natural talent with words and is extremely helpful. He put a lot of work into making my husbands CV unique and stand out. The proof was in the pudding as he got offered a permanent position in a sought after role less than a month after submitting his new CV. Getting his foot in the door was all that was needed, we are so grateful for Lees expertise. Highly recommend.
